I was an early Clubhouse user. The initial conversations were very beneficial and very interesting. Over time, as more people got access, it started to turn into virtue signaling sessions on one end and super wack conversations about crypto on the other. It basically turned into an audio version of Twitter. After a couple of months, I ended up deleting the application.

My wife uses Marco Polo a lot with her family. It's a great way for them to maintain an async conversation. I think for group no larger than five people, it makes a lot of sense.

Is social audio dead? No. I do think that the market size is definitely a lot smaller.

Eternal September all over again.
